Hi All,
I have 11.5 YOE with background of data migration testing, cloud migration testing, DWH testing, ETL, SQL and functional testing. I was onsite for 5 years as well. Now after coming back to India for good I have attained saturation both learning, pay and job wise.

I have been thinking of enrolling into data science with ML and AI program of 14 months with scaler academy at a cost of 2.65L. Is it worth joining or my job growth post the program? What are your thoughts?

My suggestion would be... don't spend 14 months and 2.65 lakhs..... rather join Analytixlabs and do a certification in DS.. Faculty is really very good...it will cost you around 30k- 40K.

I believe there are enough material available on internet which will provide the same knowledge

Second these academy also promises for placement as well
But in your case you have industry exp, and you will be having good network, which will help you to get job opportunities as well.

I personally have learnt from multiple free resources
And still doing.

Give it try..
All the best

I joined scaler 6 months back. There are lot of good free content available but scaler helps you in 2 major things

1. structured content - before joining scaler tried to learn DSA by myself from leetcode and free YouTube channel, they were good but it was very hard for me to search for the right content. There isn't a proper path to learn.

2. Discipline-learning DSA is 10 times harder than learning a framework, I'm a self learnt full stack developer but still it is very hard for me to put in effort on DSA and spend time for it.

These were the major reasons joined Scaler and I'm really happy that I took this decision.
For DSML I heard that the course content is really good and there are a lot of projects and a bunch of case studies you'll be doing which helps you a lot.
If you have any queries you can reach out to me.

Dude once you join an organization what will you do if there is no structure or path for a solution to a problem? You will probably google search how to solve xyz problem. Curious to know why this approach didn't helped you in dsa prep?

I have enrolled in the DSML course. Feel free to ping me for details. I am 6 months into the course.
